Ford is introducing a Ranger Raptor Special Edition in South Africa and pricing and specification have appeared on the firm’s local website.

The Ranger Raptor sits at the pinnacle of the popular Ranger lineup in South Africa and a new range-topper has now been confirmed to arrive locally before the end of 2021.

The Ranger Raptor Special Edition will come to market in limited numbers to ensure exclusivity and it will be sold alongside the standard Raptor and it will feature a number of exterior and interior styling enhancements that will set it apart from its stablemate.

Key Features

The Ranger Raptor Special Edition adds a range of exclusive exterior and interior details.

The Ranger Raptor Special Edition will be offered in either Sea Grey, Frozen White, Blue Lightning and Agate Black body colours, complemented with matte black racing stripes with contrasting red edging seen on the bonnet, roof, lower side body, rear wings and tailgate. The front tow hooks are also finished in red.

The look is further enhanced with a matte black grille finish which is also extended to the wheel arches, front and rear bumpers and door handles. The Ranger Raptor Special Edition also gains a black integrated sports hoop as well as a lockable Mountain Top black roller shutter, which is also a feature on the recently introduced Ranger Thunder.

On the inside, the special Ranger Raptor gains red stitching found on the steering wheel, instrument panel and door panel finishes. Leather upholstery is standard and a Raceway Grey instrument panel is exclusive to the Ranger Raptor Special Edition.

The Ranger Raptor Special Edition is mechanically identical to the standard Ranger Raptor which means that it retains the familiar 2.0-litre bi-turbocharged diesel engine with 157 kW and 500 Nm and comes mated with Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission.

The Ranger Raptor is a formidable offroad vehicle with a specialised suspension system comprising front aluminium double wishbones and a multilink rear suspension with FOX shock absorbers with position-sensitive damping. The Raptor exhibits a 150 mm wider track and stands some 51 mm taller than a standard Ranger. General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres are also fitted as standard.
